An Open Letter

To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray, Rep. DelBene

From: A constituent in Kirkland, WA

January 26

We now have a government funding a high-tech terrorist organization — given free rein, massive budgets, and zero guardrails. Renée Nicole Good. 37. Poet. Loving wife. Loving mother. Dropped her 6-year-old off at school. Stuffed animals hanging out of her glove compartment. Shot and killed by ICE. Her last words: “I’m not mad at you.” An ICE agent’s words on video: “FCKING BTCH.” Then DHS labeled her a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Jeffrey Pretti. 37. ICU nurse. Killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026 — less than three weeks after Renée. DHS claimed he advanced with a weapon. Video analysis shows him holding a phone. Others killed in detention. Observers having their phones yanked out of their arms and the ICE agents gleefully commenting "Congratulations, you are now in the domestic terrorist database." A 5-year-old should be thinking about milk and cookies — not terrroizing masked men and black SUVs that induce life long trauma. Maybe in Greenland he would be safe — and if he got sick, he’d have health care as a right, not a privilege. But here, you fund terror instead of care. Democrats text us 10 times a day begging for donations — promising you’ll fight for us if we just “pitch in.” WE ALREADY PITCHED IN. We pitched in with our taxpayer money: over $190 billion to DHS, including $75 billion for ICE — and now you’re still trying to push another ~$10 billion to ICE through FY2026 funding. And Senator Schumer — this is on you. You set the strategy. You count the votes. You decide when Democrats hold the line and when they cave. And you have failed us EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. So stop the optics. Stop the speeches. Stop the fundraising. Do your jobs and protect us. Do you care about our lives or not? Because this vote will answer it — and every Democrat who votes yes will prove exactly what we fear: you’re not resisting this, you’re financing it. STOP FUNDING THE TERRORIZING AND KILLING OF TAXPAYERS.
